[Sponsored] Lens review: I.Fairy Lucius Blue

Hello sweethearts!

I present to you today a circle lens review of a really pretty blue pair – the I.Fairy Lucius Blue! The lenses I'm reviewing in this post were sponsored by the lovely LensVillage! I was already their customer before the partnership and I can honestly say that they are one of my go-to stores for circle lenses – they have a lot of lenses to choose from, many brands and LensVillage also holds sales often and have good shipping deals too. ♥ Go give them your love!

This review, although sponsored, consists of 100% my own, genuine opinion. I value honesty very highly when reviewing and won't compromise it. Ever.

Psst, I have a new discount code! Using 15SHIRO at checkout takes a cut off the price!

Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 16.2 mm

Water content: 55%

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

I've said it many times before but I've never, to my memory, had any problems with LensVillage or their customer service. I always get my lenses in a timely manner, which is in approximately 2-3 weeks. They are always easy to deal with, speak good English (it's common that Asia-based lens stores have poor English skills) and the lens bottles come securely wrapped in some kind of foam, bubblewrap or similar to protect them from breaking during transit. ^^

I always put newly opened lenses to soak overnight in a multi-purpose lens solution and I recommend you do it too. The thing is that the solution that the lenses come stored in is of a stronger kind and might hurt your eyes so yeah, better safe than sorry if you ask me. Sight is not something to toy around with.

Honestly, this is a lens that I've been wanting to try for years. It's not all that special by design as several lenses sport a similar print but there is something with these, I don't know what, that has made me keep them on a list of lenses to try out someday. I'm happy I got to try these and I must say that the Lucius Blues did not leave me disappointed!

One lens in.

As you can expect from I.Fairy lenses these are really big and dolly. The color is focused to the edges and that in turn creates a pretty cute effect in my opinion – I'll admit that normally a big pupil hole is not one of my favorite things but this design really works with my natural eye color for once! It creates this splash of color and despite the blue being really vibrant it actually, somehow, manages to mix well with my natural gray-blue eyes. I can't call it a natural blending effect but there is something with these that makes it work and I can't help but love the outcome.

The blue is a lighter blue, kind of a sky blue and it's incredibly beautiful in tone. One of my favorite blue shades and on lenses it's so pretty! The black rim adds an illusion of the eyes being bigger, more youthful and animated. The color is concentrated on the edges and it's opaque with a streaky design, avoiding the "block of color" effect.

Comfort is good. These are really thin, easy to insert and don't obstruct my vision in any way. I don't feel any scratching or some other unpleasant shit and I barely feel these in my eyes, despite having ultra sensitive eyes that rival the deserts in dryness. I would estimate wearing time to be in the 4-5 hour range on dry eyes, which is really good in my standards and it would probably equal about 6-8 hours on "normal eyes". These would last me a full convention day with potential need for eyedrops.

I'm in love with these lenses, not gonna deny it. They are so cute, bright and completely magical in their appearance! I can see them being used for cosplay, j-fashion (especially pastel and cute looks!) and pretty much anything you can think of that would benefit from big blue eyes. ^^ I feel like it's a really eye-catching color and one of the most gorgeous blue shades; I love these and would buy them again in a heartbeat. If you like colorful big lenses then I'd warmly recommend to give these pretties a go as well!
